The purpose of my blog is to record my family history and genealogy on my mother's side of the family. The surnames include Hoover, Pickett (Piggott), Eccles, Huddleston, Manis (Maness), Gipson, (Gibson) Gifford, Lawson, Fish,and and other in my family tree. I will continue my genealogy research as I try to help others with their genealogy. I don't guarantee that all my genealogical conclusions are correct, they are a work in progress.

Those Places Thursday - Stone's River National Battlefield

I am using Those Places Thursday to highlight battlefields where my ancestors fought. My great-grandfather Isaac G Manis fought at the Battle of Stone's River.

The Battle of Stone's River began on the last day of 1862 and went into a few days of 1863. It was one of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War. My great grandfather fought in the 36th Indiana Regiment Company A.
